Chapter 6
[System: Yellow card warning! ]
Chen Huaixin: ???
She was shocked and suspected that she had heard it wrongly. In fact, she just got into the car to go home and did not make any other unnecessary movements.
[System: The host has not acted strangely for over 24 hours. Please correct this before midnight today, or you will be punished with an electric shock.]
Shen Huaixin's body suddenly trembled. Oh my goodness, the Thunder King is setting a KPI. After just one day of playing sloppy, he's already demanding to move the plot forward.
There is no way, she can only bear the grievance of Chu Mo. After all, her mission is to absorb hatred and promote evil.
Shen Huaixin has been a well-behaved person since he learned to read. He has suffered hardships since childhood but has never done anything bad. When he was thinking about what to do, as soon as he opened the door, his eyes suddenly lit up - here came the ready-made opportunity!
Shen Chumo was seen holding a book and reading, his eyes almost fixed on the pages, obviously extremely focused. The evil species, which are naturally far stronger than humans, are working so hard, no wonder humans are destroyed.
Shen Huaixin slammed the door shut, making a loud noise that scared Shen Chumo, and he looked over with his big watery eyes.
"Didn't your etiquette teacher teach you to pour water for your sister? You are so uneducated." She gave orders and acted bossily.
Shen Chumo closed the book and stood up. Shen Huaixin watched him walk closer and closer to her. Facing the villain's quiet and deep eyes, her scalp gradually tingled.
Are we going to kill her now?
No, no, although she will be offline sooner or later, now is not the time. Shen Huaixin forced her expression and sneered. When he reached out his hand, she took a step back quickly, holding her arms in a defensive posture in front of her chest.
"Sister, your water."
Shen Chumo was stunned for a moment, the half-passed glass hanging in the air.
Shen Huaixin lifted his eyelids, looked at him cautiously, breathed a sigh of relief, and slowly relaxed his body.
"The emotion is fear," Shen Chumo tilted his head and thought for a moment, "Why?"
“…” Shen Huaixin took the cup of water and took a big sip. The water temperature was just right, just enough to moisten her dry throat. She said coldly, “No, I just feel disgusted.”
Shen Chumo lowered his eyes and said nothing.
Shen Huaixin walked to the sofa, knowing that he was sitting here waiting for her to come home. She sighed in her heart and picked up his book to take a look - a high school mathematics textbook. It seemed that he wanted to start school early and had already started preparing for it.
The evildoer will do it to the end. Shen Huaixin pulled hard, and with the sound of "rip--", "rip--", the book was torn into pieces. She raised her eyebrows and looked at Shen Chumo who was standing there.
"You still think I'm afraid of you?"
"And let me tell you, no matter how hard you study, you'll still be at the bottom of the class. It's better not to study at all."
Although Shen Huaixin felt that he was the last in the school and that it seemed that he lacked confidence to say such outrageous words, he still had to maintain his character.
Shen Chumo remained silent and didn't argue with her. He bent down and picked up the scraps of paper one by one.
...is this a bit too much?
Shen Huaixin pursed her lips and asked herself. In the end, she couldn't bear it. She sighed slowly, picked up her schoolbag and turned to leave, and by the way, asked the servants to help clean the living room.
Dinner was spent in silence.
She ate her meal, occasionally glancing at Shen Chumo with a guilty glance. Shen Chumo seemed oblivious, eating very attentively, fully implementing the principle of "every grain of rice is hard-earned".
Shen Huaixin couldn’t stand the atmosphere, so he ate a few bites hastily, then said that he was full and had homework to do, and walked out of the restaurant, ignoring Mother Shen’s shocked expression.
Back in the bedroom, Shen Huaixin lay down on the bed somewhat powerlessly, looking at the ceiling, repeatedly reminding herself to have firm faith - they were just characters in a book, what did their joys and sorrows have to do with her? Not to mention the villains who took human life lightly, she only needed to complete the task and get the money and go home.
After constantly comforting herself, Shen Huaixin gradually felt less of a lump in her throat. However, the thought of today's homework gave her a headache again. She had forgotten too much knowledge in the past few years after graduation. After all, although her schooling conditions were difficult, her grades were still quite good.
Shen Huaixin sat down at the desk and was about to open his schoolbag when he suddenly discovered a few more pieces of paper on the desk.
“…”
She picked up the paper, her expression gradually froze, and strong regret hit her head like a hammer.
The question on the paper was unclear but familiar - it was a photo print after all. However, underneath the picture, the steps and ideas for solving the problem were written neatly and in detail. Every formula calculation and decomposition was clearly stated, as if to prevent people from understanding it.
It turned out that he studied the textbooks on his own just to answer her questions.
Shen Huaixin paced back and forth in the room, holding a few pieces of paper filled with answers.
Huge questions filled her mind.
She didn't understand why, even though she had always been sarcastic and opposed Shen Chumo, he would still spend the whole day studying a completely unfamiliar question and giving a detailed answer to a question that she had given up on in the middle of the night.
Even if this is the hypocrisy of a villain, judging by his actions rather than his heart, it is still very precious to her.
Previously, Shen Huaixin had been a bystander, thinking that Shen Chumo was just a character in the book and the object of her mission. However, as she delved deeper and learned about the background of the character that was not mentioned in the book, she realized that it was far from as simple as she thought.
Shen Huaixin suddenly had an idea, and a light bulb went off in his mind. The confusion and puzzlement he had been having since traveling through time finally had an answer.
Chen Chumo is just a newly born consciousness. Perhaps he is not adapted to his body or the social world, and he doesn't even know how to deal with harm. Like the most innocent child, he will smile and ask for help from the abuser.
Just like when she first crossed over, he thought a smile was the antidote to trouble. And just like now, he thought that if he was kind to others, they would repay him in the same way.
Previously, Shen Huaixin felt a little uncomfortable as to why he was bullied at school. After all, as a villain boss, even if he was just a teenager, his aura was definitely not weak. He was not treated badly in terms of clothing and food. How could he be bullied?
Now that I think about it, facing a beautiful fool who is submissive and born with a limp is enough to arouse the evil nature of children, and Shen Chumo's special physique that can recover on its own provides an excellent testing ground for bullies.
"...Can I say 'I'm sorry' to him? I was wrong."
[System: Yellow card warning! ]
Shen Huaixin: “Tsk.”
Shen Huaixin clenched the paper in his hand, and after a while, he suddenly smiled: "You want me to advance the plot, right?"
"Can't be OOC, right?"
[System: What are you going to do? Warning to the host: if you fail to complete the task, you will not be able to return to the original world.]
"Guess?" Shen Huaixin raised his eyebrows and threw the question to the system.
"Outrageous! Can this be eaten?" Fang Xiaozheng turned off his phone, leaned back in his chair, and closed his eyes to rest.
The black screen of her phone was still automatically playing speeches such as "This insect is rich in nutrients, just remove the head and you can eat it." Her scattered notes were spread out on the table.
"Survival in the wild is too difficult. Forget it, I'd better start by learning how to set up a tent."
According to Shen Huaixin's request, she prepared a table of dishes. However, after seeing the chicken-flavored bugs in the video, she couldn't help but feel a little disgusted when faced with the chicken soup she made. She was looking forward to sending a message to her to send it over so that she could show off her improved cooking skills.
However, the message he received was - "I'm full, you can eat by yourself."
Fang Xiaozheng even suspected that Shen Huaixin was making fun of him, but he paid a lot for the food and there was still a certain amount of surplus, which was reasonable to consider as the wages for half a day's work.
It's just a pity that the whole table of food she carefully prepared will be wasted again...
Not really? Fang Xiaozheng remembered that her mother would be home soon. Just like last time, when her mother saw the meal she had prepared... she would be pleased and praise her for being sensible. The playback sound on her phone abruptly stopped as the video ran out. She sat in the chair and could hear her own soft breathing, which sounded a little cramped and uneasy.
Shen Chumo was watching a TV series with his mother while peeling an orange and handing the orange segments to her mother one by one, which was very relaxing. The plot was at the exciting moment of solving the case, and he was watching intently when he suddenly felt a vibration in his trouser pocket.
Most of the time, this vibration was an app notification. Shen Chumo hadn't figured out how to turn it off, but since everyone else had pushed it to him, they definitely wanted him to read it. So he pulled out his phone and planned to comment "read" under the news as usual.
[Ding Dong! You have a new friend request]
"ah."
He stared at the two words and thought for a long time. Mother Shen turned her head and asked him what he was laughing at.
Shen Chumo shook his head, clicked "Agree", and added "Good Friend" to the other party's notes.
He didn't have the heart to watch the TV series for a moment. He held his mobile phone, said something was wrong, and ran back to the room.
Clicking on the portrait, it was a pale yellow flower dotted with purple spots, surrounded by broad oval green leaves. Shen Chumo checked and found that it was the flower of the catalpa tree.
The other person’s circle of friends only had one message: “New semester, new atmosphere, please take care of me.” The picture was of a camphor tree at the school gate.
Shen Chumo remembered that he had seen this camphor tree when he picked up Shen Huaixin from school. He had a good memory and could almost remember everything he saw. He came very early because he was afraid of missing it. While waiting, he opened the window and carefully studied the texture of the trunk and the shape of the leaves. Each leaf was different, so it was clear that it was the same tree as the one in the photo.
It seems that he went to the same middle school as Shen Huaixin. His ID simply had a "Han" written on it. He didn't know who he was, but even if his full name was written, he wouldn't recognize him.
Good friend: Hello :)
Shen Chumo: Hello
He thought about it and imitated the other person by typing a colon and brackets. Although he didn't understand what they meant, he thought it should be a friendly gesture.
Shen Chumo::(
He waited patiently for a while before his good friend replied: Don't be sad, I am very grateful to you.
Shen Chumo was just wondering if he had made a mistake in the punctuation, but his phone quickly vibrated twice, as if he was trying to explain urgently.
Good friend: Your sister and I go to the same school! She posted your solution, and I happened to see it. It was very helpful, so I came to thank you. You're very smart and you're so caring. Your sister is so lucky to have a brother like you.
Good friend: I really hope I can go to the same school as you. There is a saying, “I wish to have the heart of a top student, and we will be together till we grow old together”, haha.
So that's how it is. Although Shen Chumo felt that something seemed strange, he had no evidence, so he just believed it. His slender fingers typed a few words, then, unsure if they were appropriate, pressed delete, and finally replied politely, "Thank you."
Good friend: Can you be my friend? I have questions I don't understand and would like to ask you for help.
Good friend: Don't worry, it won't take up too much of your time! If you like milk tea, I can order takeout to your house and use it as your tuition fee, okay? :)
Shen Chumo: Don’t be sad, okay.
